Michael Unexpected Romances

We Meet Again

Michael's pov

I bang my pen on the table. I'm supposed to write a poem about love...but I've never fully experienced what it's really like.
The closest thing I've had is my mother.She is a caring soul and is heaven compared to Joseph!But her lack of trust in us and letting us be beaten to a crisp,tells me something else.
I'm taken out of my depressed thoughts when I hear her voice travelling my way.

'Michael,me and your father have given it some thought and we think it would be nice if you got a job,a park time job,'Mother beams,leaning over at me.
I sigh.Why do I need a job when I already work hard everyday!There would be no time for a stinkin park time job!

'Mother,I don't have time for a park time job,I already have so much work to do,why do I need even more,'I moan.

'Because we think it would be good for you and it will help you do things with your own two hands,'Mother smiles.

'But I have so much to do with the J5 and homework,no offence mother but you've just made my schedule ten times harder,and what if me being their attracts unwanted attention'I snap.

She gasped at me!'Don't take that tone with me Michael,you are going on that park time job!We will fit it in your schedule!You only have it once or twice a week for a few hours,and the only people who will know who you are is the people who work there'Mother scolds!
I sigh and nod my head,knowing I'd loose this battle.

I still didn't agree with the idea but decided to do it anyway.It's better to say yes than no,well in our house it is.
I was happy that the rest of my siblings had been given park time jobs aswell or I really would have put up a fight.
I hate it when my parents only focus on me!I don't know if I'm their golden child of whatever but if I am,I don't wanna be!It's too much!

So I'm supposed to go to Bury New Road's Sandwich Shop.Which way is that!God I really need to stop zoning out when people are telling me information!I might have heard the instructions!I groan and try to find my way,keeping my disguise as casual as possible.

Jonathan's pov

'Hey guys you hungry,' I shout, reaching for the ice cream.
Luckily the whole Jacksons thing had blown over.I couldn't stand being made a mockery of in the group any longer!
'Guys,I won't ask again,'I laugh.
Well more for me then.

'Yoo hoo I'm home boys,'cooed a man we all grew to know and love.
'Top Hat,' I cry running to him with Tim,Jack,Damien, Curtis and Willis trailing behind.Even though we were all alot older we still loved to see the man walk through the door whenever we could!

'Alright boys,what crazy adventures have you lot been getting up to,'Top Hat smirks.
Top Hat always went away,we never knew where or when he was coming back!I guess that's why we get so excited when he finally decides to show!

'Nothing much',says Damien.
'I saw a rat for the first time,it was big and gross and smelt like Curtis's room,'Teases Tim earning a playful shove from the older lad.
'My room doesn't smell ,'scolded Curtis.
'You need to check your smella,'laughs Damien.
We share a laugh.
'Oh I almost forgot to ask,what do you guys have,'says Top Hat gleefully.
Everyone begins to pull things out of their pockets that had been 'found' as we like to call it.
Watches, rings,purses and old wallets with money inside were thrown onto the table.

But I throw nothing...
I couldn't!Yesterday was the only time I could go and steal and I let the beauty get away with what I had caught. Boy not beauty!God damn it!

'Jonathan,where is your load,'Top Hat says sternly.
His eyes burning into mine like the flames of hell!All orbs were on me!
I couldn't tell them the truth!That I let a Jackson out of my reach because I felt bad for them!I'd get my ass kicked!
